Exodus 34:20 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and
if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy
sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.

Luke 10:1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and
sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he
himself would come.

2 Cor. 1:11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift
bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many
on our behalf.

Heavenly Father, Master and Redeemer:

Every firstborn was yours, but since the ass was an unclean animal it could
not be presented for sacrifice. What then? Should he be allowed to go free from
the law? No. The life is what is required, but God will not accept it. There is no
way to escape except by redemption. The creature can only be saved by
substitutionby putting an innocent lamb in his place. If not redeemed like this,
he has to die.
O My Father! Does __________ or __________ know the ass is a biblical
type (a picture) of a person lost just like them? And they must die an eternal
death if they do not accept the sacrifice of the Lamb of God on their behalf.
Here is a lesson. I was the unclean animal! I am rightly the property of the
God who created me. But I was so sinful God would not, God could not accept
me as I am. It has come to this. The Lamb of God must stand in my place or else
I die forever. Let all the world know my gratitude to the spotless Lamb of God
who bled and died for me, and redeemed me from the curse of the law!
Which should die; the ass or the lamb? Should I not pause and compare?
The value of a soul is worth less than the life of the Sonyet the Lamb dies and
man-the-ass is spared. O God, I admire your boundless holy love in this!
I am a worm, bought with the blood of the Highest. Dust and ashes
redeemed with gold. What doom had been mine if a redemption price was not
found. Save __________ likewise from the wrath to come! Do it for Jesus sake
and to honor his Finished Work. Amen.

O Lord Jesus!
At your first coming you sent out seventy disciples to prepare the way in
front of you. Allow today that the pastors, ministers and missionaries of Harvest
would likewise be used to so prepare and make ready your way! Give them your
grace to be able to turn hearts of the disobedient toward wisdom as they counsel
this week. In that way, at the rapture of the church, where you carry us away to
the judgment seat of Christ, we will be found acceptable in your sight. Prepare
me to live and reign with the Father and Holy Spirit forever.
You gave your only-begotten Son to take my nature upon himself. Grant
that since I have likewise taken his nature on me by salvation, I might have daily
grace renewed by your Holy Spirit, through the same Lord Jesus Christ who lives
and reigns with you forever. You pour-out on me the new light of your Word.
Allow the same light that kindles in my heart to shine forth through my life, not
just enlightening others, but setting them alight by the gospel.
Raise up, I pray, your power, and come among us and upon us with great
might in revival! Through my own sins and wickedness I am severely hampered
in running the race. Give me your bountiful grace and mercy to help and deliver,
so I can speed with your purposes in this life.
Father, I ask it all through Jesus Christ my Lord, to whom, with you and
the Holy Spirit,
Jude 25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion
and power, both now and for ever. Amen.

O Dear God:
Since you give me power to bless people by my prayers, do not let me
scrimp the supplication, and cramp the blessing. What is it I want most? In one
word it is the Holy Ghost. Let the Holy Spirit be given to my spouse, and they
will fulfill their role as a mate. Let the Spirit be given to my child, and they will
develop a tender conscience. Let the Spirit be given in my job, and I will find
favor with my employer. Let the Spirit be given to my church, and we will have a
desire to follow Christ, hunger for your word, and love for the lost to save them,
and for the saved to disciple them. I will find the Savior and be useful!
I pray the Holy Spirit will visit us in more fullness, so divine blessings
we cannot attain for ourselves will attend our services. Let us see souls saved!
Make worship be prominent. Make strife stop. The hearing of the preaching is
the vehicle, but the power lies behind it, in the Spirit of God!
I can never go wrong with the Holy Ghost. You keep me right and lead me
into all truth. And if you will send your Spirit out among the congregation, then
the right preachers and faithful ministers will rise to the top. The leaders of
leaders will emerge. Since the Spirit of God is the might of this church, he speaks
with power in us so he can communicate power through us.
He is the Spirit of holiness. He leads us to obedience. He purges from sin
and creates the image of God in me. His presence is revival itself, so for this
thing I pray. Grant unity, because if the Spirit is in us and abounds, we shall not
be easily divided or discouraged. We plead this in prayer for Jesus sake. Amen.

A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING

Chronological Bible Reading: Leviticus 13-15; Matthew 25:24-46
Thursday, February 11
Gen. 41:14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily

out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in
unto Pharaoh.

TO Jordan came our Lord the Christ, to do Gods pleasure willing,

And there was by Saint John baptized, all righteousness fulfilling;
The eye of sense alone is dim, and nothing sees but water;
Faith sees Christ Jesus, and in Him the Lamb ordained for slaughter;
He is the true Baptizer.
In tender manhood Jesus straight to holy Jordan wendeth;
The Holy Ghost from Heavens gate in dovelike shape descendeth;
That thus the truth be not denied, nor should our faith eer waver,
That the Three Persons all preside, at baptisms holy laver,
And dwell with the believer.
Thus Jesus His disciples sent: Go teach ye every nation,
That lost in sin they must repent; and flee from condemnation:
He that believes and is baptized, obtains a mighty blessing;
A new-born man, no more he dies, eternal life possessing,
A joyful heir of Heaven.

Martin Luther, 1541

Prov. 4:4,21 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my
words: keep my commandments, and live. Let them not depart from thine eyes;
keep them in the midst of thine heart.

Holy God and Righteous Lord:

Teach us to really love your word like Job did (Job 23:12), and like Jeremiah
(Jer. 15:16). Then, our reading and our study will become a labor of love, and a
joy we look forward to with delight.
Psa. 119:96-97 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment
is exceeding broad. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
We plead with you to give us patience to study as well as to read; to
meditate as well as to scan, and to openly contemplate throughout the day.
Lord, help us take our Bible with us at all times in our hearts, and not leave it in
our drawer after devotions! Give us responsive hearts. Make us willing to pay any
price necessary to be saturated with your words. Jesus is so worth it!
Come Holy Spirit, breathe light into our thoughts and life into our speech
as we meditate and pray over your word. Thank you, Father for the unspeakable
gift of the Lord Jesus. All the unknown joys he gives were bought with agonies
immeasurable. How can we praise you enough for sending the Lord Jesus, who
became a man of sorrows so we could know fullness of joy?
We bow down in grateful adoration before you, Lord Jesus; before you who
bowed so low you lifted us up to be with you forever. What are our shallow griefs
compared to your infinite sorrows? You are chief among ten thousand to our
souls. Teach us to live under the shadow of your cross as we walk through this
life today. Our great Savior, these things we pray to your honor and glory, for the
joy of your soul, and the accomplishment of your Eternal Purpose by us. Amen.

Psa. 119:33 Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep

it unto the end.

Lord Whom I Love and Long For:

This section of Psalm 119 is made of a prayer and a plea. It teaches me the
keys to prayer, because a desperate dependence and sense of extreme need are
woven into the tapestry of this text. The previous eight verses shudder with a
sense of sin, quiver with a feeling of weakness, and tremble with a childlike
admission of folly. They cause the man of God to cry out for the only help by
which any soul can be rescued from falling into sin. So do I!
I long to have you Lord, for my teacher. My heart will not intuitively grasp
what it needs to know, and it will not learn from a less-effective instructor. A
great sense of slowness to learn drives me to seek a great teacher.
I thank you Lord, that my very desire to learn your way so well is in itself
an assurance you will teach me. If you make me long to learn the marrow of your
word, surely you will satisfy my desire.
This I need so badly, for only those who are taught of God never forget
their lessons. When divine grace sets me on the high way and hard but right
path, then I will stay true to it. When I give up the grace of faith for flights of
fancy, I am left to my own devices, because mere human intelligence has no
enduring influence. Perfect my holiness in the fear of God as I progressively
comprehend your promises (2 Cor. 7:1)!
If I begin in God, stay with God, and live by God, I will endure faithful to
the end. But those who start without the Lord and do not continue in the word
get deflected and stray from true spirituality. I want to drink-in divine instruction
so I can keep my integrity, walk uprightly, and be godly in Christ Jesus. Amen.

HOW TO BUILD A BALANCED LIFE

THIS WEEKS EVENTS & ACTIVITIES

PRAYER DIARY

TIMEWORSHIP
Mark 1:35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went

out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

GIVE GOD THE FIRST PART OF EVERY DAY. The first commitment is
to a daily quiet time with God. Our weekly Prayer Diary provides a template for daily
devotions.
2)

TITHEWORK
1 Cor 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in

store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

GIVE GOD THE FIRST DIME OF EVERY DOLLARno questions

asked. Ten percent is a miniscule amount in our affluent society, but it must come
off the top in order to show that God is our priority. We want the blessing of the
firstfruits (first devotion, first dime and first day) to flow out to the rest of our
resources.
3)

TEAMWORD
Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the

manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye
see the day approaching.

GIVE GOD THE FIRST DAY OF EVERY WEEK. You should fellowship
with a group of believers around the word of God every Sunday in our church.

QUALITY CHRISTIANITY INVOLVES THREE THINGS

Keeping Christ at the center (your core relationship of worship to God)
Keeping the body of Christ a priority (your congregational relationship of
walking with us)
Basing beliefs and actions on the mind of Christ (your church relationship in
the Word)

INTERCEDE WITH GOD INSTRUCT SAINTS

PROMPT PETITIONS KICKSTART DEVOTION

INSTRUCTIONS:

Baptists tend to ridicule liturgical churches that use "prepared prayers" because
they lack spontaneity. But for many Baptists, their prayers are so predictable they are
no more spontaneous than written-out prayers. The result is we end up praying the
same things over and over.
This daily Prayer Diary will prompt you on a wide range of prayer requests you
might not normally think of, while forcing you to articulate a deeper devotion to
God. We have included a daily Bible reading schedule. This plan will take you
through the Bible chronologically in a year.
Do not read ahead and do not try to catch up. Use each day as it comes. Then
you can know that on any given day, dozens of other people are lifting their hearts in
the same mind to God. Pray what is written, but use what is prayed as a springboard
for your own relationship with God. You learn to pray by praying.

Secret prayer is the secret of prayer, the soul of prayer, the seal of prayer, the
strength of prayer. If you do not pray alone you do not pray at all. Our Lord Jesus
Christ would go nowhere till He had prayed. He would attempt nothing till He had
prayed.
Oh, says one, I live in the spirit of prayer, and therefore I do not need times
and seasons for prayer. And do you think that Christ did not live in the spirit of
prayer? Yet He had to have his special time and place to pray. Do not fall under the
injurious notion that because your spirit cries to God in prayer all day long, therefore
there must not be some season for more immediately coming into Gods presence. If
you imagine this, I am afraid that it will prove a snare to your feet. The Lord Jesus
Christ, who knew better than you do that the main thing is the spirit of prayer rather
than the act of prayer, yet Himself retired into desert places to maintain the act and
exercise of prayer. Be spiritual. Be baptized into the spirit of prayer. But do not be
deceived by the enemy, who can steal a spirit away while we dream that we only
spiritualize it. We had better preserve the very bones of prayerthe posture, the
time, placerather than let it all ooze away into an impalpable mental condition.
God keep us prayerful. He will do so if He makes us like His dear Son.

Charles H. Spurgeon, 1834-92
